I’m a pj girl.. certainly no depression here.. nice and comfy and to hell with whoever knocks on my door.. ?
Good Morning Friday 24th April 2026
I wanna know if I'm just being lazy haha. I just don't see the point in getting into nicer clothes if I'm just going to sit in my house all day. I suffer from RA and getting dressed is a struggle sometimes anyway.
Although I did get myself dressed this morning as I went out for a walk along the seafront. I can safely say it was freezing.
Hope you're all keeping well xx
I’m a pj girl.. certainly no depression here.. nice and comfy and to hell with whoever knocks on my door.. ?
Occasionally when totally losing the plot I write morning list on Windows. Get up... Get dressed. My dog Daisydo reminds me by bashing my leg as if to say "Get your clothes on" we are in another day. I have wardrobes stuffed full of clothes, some new (many) vintage (loads). One new coat and umpteen hats and no where to wear them. I suppose I could do a dress up session and parade down my garden and back. We will get through this awful period, the tulips will bloom and the sun will show its face with a prayer and fingers crossed. Hopefully we will still mantain our sanity and come out smelling of roses,
I regularly have a PJ day on my days off. To me, a jimjam day contributes to self care. I tend to pamper myself.
I think we're maybe talking about different types of PJs. Mine are thick and fluffy, far too warm to wear in bed - exactly the same as thick joggers and a fleece, just bright colours and patterns. Topped with a dressing gown, of course!
Right now, I shower before bed. It saves time in the morning and, let's face it, doesn't matter as nobody is closer than two metres away!
AliceJane, Well of course I live in PJs (except for the daily dog walk). Why wouldn't I? It's all the rage right now!
They're so comfy, so easy to wash and dry. In fact, when it's very cold outside, I simply add my knitted leg warmers, trousers, boots and coat - then out I go!
If I feel chilly when I get back, the leg warmers stay on, the coat is replaced by a fluffy dressing gown, the boots by slippers. Easy, logical, practical - perhaps a permanent choice of winter attire?
I love pyjama days! I don't wear the trousers in bed, just the top and big knickers, but put the trousers on when I get up. If I don't have to go out other than walking the dog then my pyjamas can stay on, I won't see anyone else. I certainly wouldn't go shopping in pyjamas or slippers though, as some youngsters do.
I hate make up and at 64, the number of times I've ever used it is still in single figures. And I stopped wearing a bra ages ago, just a comfy vest and however many layers the temperature dictates. Comfort counts for a lot more than appearance in my mind, if nobody else is going to see me I can avoid looking in the mirror - my dog still loves me!
There have been days when things have just got to me and I haven't bothered getting dressed - so mildly depressed I suspect. But usually I get showered and change into comfortable togs after I've done the housework. I like to keep my hair looking nice and I usually put on eyeliner - just so I can bear looking at myself in the mirror ?. But each to their own I say.
I always get dressed in comfy clothes but when it is as cold as now, I put my dressing gown on top of clothes for extra warmth. Home all day I cannot afford to have heating on all of the time so this suits me.
No I wouldn’t wear pjs all day, when I get up I have to get dressed, the only way I would wear pjs all day is if was poorly,
I don't have any PJs or nighties, so I certainly wouldn't spend the day in what I wear in bed!
I shower when I get up, then wear something comfortable. Some days I put make-up on, some days I don't - depends how I feel, but I always use moisturiser. My hair is short (at the moment!) so needs only a quick brush, it gets washed every other day.
i wear a nightie to bed then get up and put on a t-shirt and pj bottoms, if i go out and it's rarely for more than an hour i get back in my pjs, i have very bad psoriasis on my legs and arms so soft pjs work best.
No, and I don't understand people who do. I, too, have RA as it happens.
I'm so glad I decided to grow my hair long - was tempted to get it all chopped off last year but couldn't be bothered. It's now halfway down my back with just a few shorter bits round my face which used to be a fringe. Easy peasy to wash and straighten or curl about every five days.
At least I can't see the back
DH just offered to trim it for me.
(No.)
Callistemon I just googled 1970s mullet as I had no idea what it was. I'm sure your hair looked..erm...interesting.?
Goodness knows what we will all look like in a few weeks.
Oh dear, depressing news just started...
I wear PJs in bed but always get dressed after my first cuppa and a shower or bath.I don't even like eating breakfast until I'm dressed and have never been able to start the day properly until I'm washed and dressed.Just moisturiser and a bit of lipstick is the only makeup.I do however seem to get earlier getting into to my nightwear and dressing gown in the evenings.Once I'm done for the day and hit the sofa I love to get comfy.Especially ditching the bra !In your own home do whatever suits you.
Sadly I dont like PJs. Wish I did. My work colleagues always used to change into theirs as soon as they got in from work Always sounds so comfy and cosy. But not me. No idea why. But during lockdown Ive lived in joggers and loose tops so not so different. Now is the perfect time to do as you please and enjoy.
I shower after breakfast, do a few exercises then get dressed, as normal.Moisturise, brush hair and put on earrings and a quick burst of perfume and I’m good to go.No make up, am having a make up free lockdown.
No, change to warm clothes for day. Too cold for p'js.
You do what suits you OP and don't let anyone make you feel guilty. I can't bear to stay in PJs all day and only did so when I suffered pneumonia a few years ago when I couldn't stop coughing for long enough to make it worthwhile. I was too exhausted to do otherwise.
I get dressed for my own self respect. When I was on chemo I got numb fingers and found pulling up socks difficult but I was wanted to do so myself (though I was sorely tempted to text my sister to ask her to come over to help) and I was determined to dress myself if it killed me. I would feel embarrassed if the doorbell rang if I wasn't dressed.
It's nearly a bob but not quite, nadateturbe
When I'd cut the sides, unfortunately it looked like a 1980s Mullett so I had to chop the very bottom of the back into layers iyswim.
No, I would never stay in my PJ's all day! I think it is depressing as the actions of showering and getting dressed seem to give a purpose (even if you have nowhere to go). If I am in all day (which is rare as I try to walk outside every day), it is track suit trousers and a fleece but never PJ's.
No tempting some days, but I've a dog to walk. Did get a bad soaking on Saturday at 4pm so stripped of clothes for machine and put pjs on, no way was I starting putting more clothes on then. Ooh they are so warm and comfy though, big elastic waistband too...
My hair is very straight - turning into a bob. I hold a mirror in front of my face to the side and turn my back to the wardrobe mirror. I can see to cut a straight line across the back. Now that its almost one length I clip the top layer up or put a hairband across to hold it. Cut a layer then lower the rest and cut across. If that makes sense. Its not perfect but no one's hair is at the moment.
My husbands hair is very wavy. Doesn't matter if its not perfect. I just chop away in sections and lift bits to make sure its all the same length. It looks much better than when he goes to the barber.
Love my Jim jams and in the winter will change into them about 7pm and snuggle down to watch, tele, Netflix or read a book. But not all day, even if I am not going out
